Curriculum
The project manager is in charge of governing the entire construction project life cycle from start to finish. It entails overseeing the development process from the initial requirements gathering with clients through the design, procurement and construction stages to the final handover. Competence in this area will improve your skills as a construction professional and your ability to ensure project success. This course aims to look deeper into each stage and its critical steps.
It starts by introducing the construction industry's importance, features and significance in maintaining high standards in both quality and labour. Following that, you will learn about the construction supervisor's role in completing projects on time, within budget and according to client specifications. You will explore the project life cycle and the various stages of successful construction projects. The following section will emphasise the importance of cost estimation and monitoring in construction management.
Construction projects are delivered more successfully when construction sites are carefully planned and managed. To do so, you will research the fundamentals of effective site management, the planning and management of equipment, materials and supply chain. Next, you will learn about the various aspects of procurement and stock control. The construction process will involve many people and you will learn how the key players in construction projects contribute to the project's life cycle.
